5x + 2y = 7
-5x + 4y = 5

You can immediately eliminate the x-terms and subtract:

  2y = 7
  4y = 5
-_____
-2y = 2
   y = -1

Substitute back to find x:

-5x + 4y = 5
5x + 4(-1) = 5
5x - 4 = 5
5x = 9
x = 1.8

Finally, substitute back to check your work:

5x + 2y = 7  =>  5(1.8) + 2(-1) = 7  =>  9 - 2 = 7  <--True
-5x + 4y = 5  =>  -5(1.8) + 4(-1) = 5  =>  -9 - 4 = 5  <--False

Answer:
There is no solution.
